# Lido stETH

This tutorial will guide users in the process of depositing new funds on the Lido YTs on top of the stETH market.

To deposit into the stETH YTs, follow these two steps:

1. Use [Lido](https://stake.lido.fi/) to stake your ETH
2. Deposit Lido LP tokens in Lido's stETH YTs

### 2. Deposit Lido LP tokens in Idle's YTs

After having staked ETH on Lido, the user can go back to Idle and enjoy the different risk-return profiles of the Yield Tranches.&#x20;

* Choose the Yield Tranches side of preference selecting either *Senior* or *Junior Tranches* under the *Earn* section in the top-bar

{% hint style="info" %}
Using **Senior Tranches**, in case of hacks or losses, users' funds will be covered by the funds deposited in the Junior Tranche.

Using **Junior Tranches**, in case of hacks or losses, users' funds will be employed first to cover Senior depositors' funds and then shared among Junior users.
{% endhint %}

1. Type in the amount to deploy on the Tranche in the right panel
2. Click on *Approve* to approve the token spend limit (1st Tx)
3. Once the spending approval is confirmed, the user will be able to deposit stETH Lido LP tokens
4. Click on *Deposit* to deposit the funds (2nd Tx)
5. The user will receive back `wstETH-LP` tokens for the asset deposited depending on the side of the PYTs chosen (AA\_wstETH-LP for Senior, BB\_wstETH-LP for Junior)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.idle.finance/products/yield-tranches/guides/live-yts-guides/lido-steth.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
